<\/p>\nA Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court in Minna has ordered the remand in prison custody of a 32-year-old farmer, Rilwan Salisu, after he pleaded guilty to a charge of rape on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Salisu is being tried over the rape of a 78-year-old woman, contrary to section 282 of the penal code.<\/p>\n
It was alleged that the farmer injured and damaged the elderly woman\u2019s private parts.<\/p>\n
According to the Police Prosecutor, Mr Daniel Ikwoche, the victim\u2019s son, Mukhtar Garba, reported the matter at the Nasko Police Station on Sept. 14.<\/p>\n
Ikwoche quoted the complainant as alleging that the accused person, a resident of Kwada village in Magama Local Government Area, entered into the room of his mother, while she was asleep, and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her.<\/p>\n
He further quoted the complainant as saying that the victim sustained injuries in her private part and was bleeding.<\/p>\n
When the charge was read to the accused person, he pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency.<\/p>\n
However, the presiding chief magistrate, Nasiru Muazu, declined to take the plea of the accused person because his court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter.<\/p>\n
Muazu directed the Police to forward a duplicate copy of the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.<\/p>\n
He, thereafter, ordered the accused person to be remanded in prison custody pending the outcome of the advice, and adjourned the case to October 25, 2018 for further mention.<\/p>\n
